I've watched many sewing videos over the years but this is the first time seeing this channel. In my 60 years of sewing, I did not learn this horizontal alteration method for this problem. No wonder my vertical alterations did not work. I am now a new subscriber to your channel and of course I gave this video a "like".
Thank you for this clear and concise tutorial. Previously, I struggled with assuming I always had to redo the flat-felled seam back to its original state. Thank you for the freedom to serge and top stitch instead. Brilliant work.
Chain stitching only 'runs' in one direction so if you have trouble getting it to run, try starting from the opposite end and running in the other direction.
I worked for 6 months with a lady who had an alterations shop. She had worked for a high end fashion store that sold imported garments; she could alter and repair anything. As much as she taught me, I have learned so much from this video. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤ I have only watched a few minutes of this, and I’m your newest fan. Genius method of making the chain stitch “run” when you are picking out stitches. I knew there was a way. I just never saw such an excellent demo.❤ Now I’m ready to attack my own baggy pants. You make it so simple. Thanks so much from your newest subscriber.😊😊
I discovered the running while unstitching trick by accident. Wow, that made my day. And made my life easier for many future alterations. Quite an epiphany.
I love how you took the viewer through each step, not assuming we know already. I knew most of this, but you had tips that I didn’t know. Thank you so (sew) much!
Really excellent presentation. Your voice is clear, pacing is perfect and cheerful. I'd guess you've had some acting or professional sales experience because you know how to engage your audience. My favorite part is how you tell the viewer what you are going to do and why before you actually do it. Best video yet and I've been sewing for 50 years.
YT thought I needed to watch this...this time, they were right! I have been doing my alterations for years and have passed up on so many nice pants because I could not fix the baggy seat. You're a great teacher!! The first time, seeing this as a horizontal problem. Your explanation was clearly explained in such a simple way. It will be easy to remember. Thank you so much. Can't wait to try it out. You have a new fan who is subscribed .
It took me YEARS to realize that my front rise was long and my back rise was short. I’ve been removing excess rise in the yoke of jeans, but now I can do it with all my pants. I’ll finally be able to wear those that looked so good in a single mirror but terrible when I got home to my double mirror. Thanks a million.
I have been doing this for years for are Air Force Members.Iam seamstress .It use to take so much time to do it the factory way..but now I found the way your doing it awhile back,I'm glad to to see you helping others,as long as the outside of the uniforms looks the sameThats what counts according to their Military instructions..We Seamstress haven't changed the uniform. also I do it for their Blue Service uniforms when needed,since we for awhile been short on Blues! Love your video too!God Bless and yours!
thank you for your instructions, l am a seamstress also, l normally start a garment and complete, l hate alterations But now with your instructions l am more confident, thank you beautiful lady, God bless you 😊
I think you did an amazing job!! Excellent instructions and easy to follow. Your RUclips channel has been a game changer for me. You’ve made doing alterations easy with a well turned out look. THANK YOU!!!!
Great video -- when you are doing this for yourself, you can measure your front and back rise areas to get an idea of how much to adjust out. if for example your Back rise is 14 "(as measured from your waist) and your pants are 16" , you may feel more confident knowing you can take out up to 2" (depending on how tight you want the fit) off the back side of the leg through crotch seam. I learned alot from your demonstration and thank you for making this so widely available..
I’ve been using this same method that has proved a professional end result for clients. It’s nice to see confirmation that others are using this as well. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us!
If you are making pants from scratch you are better off correcting the real issue which is a long back rise. Take your pattern and shorten that crotch length, from waist to middle of the crotch, you’ll get a better fit.
@@wordsigns7841 You are correct but, in alterations you don’r have that option. I was told by a fitting instructpr that the baggy seat problem couldn’t be fixed after the pants were cut and sewn. We always do a horizontal tuck in the muslin just below the the hipline.and tapering to noting at the side seam. I’m going to do this alteration on a pair of purchased jeans and see how it works for me. I’m pretty sure it will….seeing is believing… You’re videos are great, Shae
This is exactly how I have made alterations of this type too...and its nice to know that as a 'non professionally taught' seamstress my self.....my intuition to do this adjustment in this way has been right all these years. Thank you for giving me the confidence in my ability, that others knew I had, but I had always doubted myself....❤
You are a WONDERFUL teacher. I just found your channel today and wow is this a gift. I love to try to teach myself different things and I can see me going to look at all your old videos. Just great, and exactly the tutorial I was looking for. I just saved it so I can rewatch when I am ready to do the alteration.
Yes but, this modification narrows your pant at the upper thigh and you end up with a tighter leg, and you may need that room on your upper thigh. Essentially the problem is the length of the rise at the back, is too long. What I have done b/c I don’t want to end up with a tighter leg is , undo the waist band and sew it back lower down. But if you have pockets you may run into them, at the end of the day, it’s a fix that will always have problems.
In my case, I do have a pocket issue and I needed to open the back seam as well in order to take in the waist. So I'm using Shae's instructions which are very clear. Once I opened the seams, it didn't seem that difficult to make the alterations. I basted it and my husband thinks they fit well. So thank you Shae.
Thank you so much for another super informative tutorial! It would be brilliant if you could do a little add-on to your alteration videos to show how you pin for the alteration. For this one in particular, how do you pin the trousers on the person to work out how much to take the from the inside seam? Thank you!
Great suggestion! It’ll be at the top of the filming list! This is one of the very few alterations we do not pin on the customer due to the sensitive nature 😉 So we will definitely line up an add-on!
I'm a beginner sewist and I had to do this to a pair of pants I just made. There was too much fabric horizontally. I took an inch off the back piece and an inch off the front; it turned out great. it's good to know I don't have to do it to both in the future. And after watching your video, I'm glad I did it correctly!
Love this and sometimes you just need someone to tell you that it is ok to change the inside of the garment. It would be nice to see you demonstrate how to put the felt seam back in. You have a gift for explaining techniques like this. And congratulations on the new bundle of joy! Prayers for a smooth delivery, you are in for a HUGE adventure. Love every moment. 😁
Been looking for this kind of tutorial for months! Thank you for a very nice and clear instructions. I would definitely try it on my baggy pants. I just hoped there is a before and after shot of it on a body to really visualize the changes.
Great teaching style! Very clear, fun to watch. And I learned how to fix a problem I’ve been pondering for a long time, but never had the courage to dive in. Now I do! Thank you.
I have an easier way to do the flat fell! Do a wrongside out French seam, press it to the appropriate side and top stitch the finished French seam flap down on the outside! No stopping to ease one side under or ironing the raw edge under! It’s already enclosed in the French seam!
Thank you so much for this video. I always have that extra in the back of pants. Now I heading to my Bernina to start fixing the extra problem. Love your calm assuring voice.
You are my Sewing Tutor Hero! Thank you for making. This is so much easier to understand. You are an awesome instructor. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Like Sue Smith said I’ve only watched a few minutes, but. I am also one of your newest and biggest fans.
I just came across your profile and this video. I am already a huge fan!😊👏👏. You are explaining in an understandable and easy way. I will look over your other videos at once. Thank you! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
This is amazing! I have always told my husband that I couldn’t take in his baggy suit pants because I knew taking in the waist and through the seat wouldn’t be enough to fix them. Now, when I have the time 🤣, I can fix them for him!! Thanks again for this video. I have never even heard of this alteration until now.
This is the first of your videos that I have watched. Mind blown! this has been an ongoing issue for me with no knowledge of how to alter. I'm sitting here doing a mental inventory of all of the pants in my wardrobe that will get much more wear with this alteration. I would have loved to see the fit before and after. You have a new subscriber in me looking forward to watching many more of your videos.
I found your video very helpful. I tried to do your seam and messed it up. So I folded it under and cut it off. I salvaged my jeans but no top stitch. Just a beginner but will keep practicing. I have lots of jeans that don't fit right.
Fantastic tutorial. I have this problem with most pants, and although I’ve developed a workaround, it’s not as straightforward as this. Thanks for sharing and for being so thorough!
This was a great video. I was about to throw out a pair of pants that I made that has a baggy seat. And now I won’t. This video is truly a game changer. I can’t wait to see some of your other videos. You are one smart cookie.
Massive thanks! I’ve got a few saggy jeans that otherwise fit pretty well. They weren’t too expensive so I think I’ll give this a go on one of them and see how it goes!
Fantastic! I am SOOOO glad I found this channel. I've seen so many videos, this is by far, the absolute best. Your voice and personality, oh my gosh, you knock it out of the stratosphere. I was wondering why you didn't use a double needle. A new subscriber for sure!
Hi, I'm not sure if that was a question about the double needle or if you were saying u were wondering and now you understand. So apologies if this is unnecessary. But on the chance you were still wondering- she could use a double needle and it wouldn't really affect the outcome on the outside. But a double needle is unnecessary for this because that seem doesn't need to stretch. Double needles are really useful for seems that need to be able to stretch, like the hem of a stretchy shirt, because the bottom thread zigzags back and forth between the two lines of thread providing it give to stretch to an extent. But this seem doesn't need to stretch. Also the original seem is two separate straight stitches so it makes it more cohesive in that sense as well. Plus getting a twin needle that is the correct width and weight for one particular pair of pants is just another step and cost- while an equally valid option- that is just unnecessary. I hope that helped :)
Thanks for this lesson! This wasn’t the usual video of: I’ll state the goal, then I’ll heavily edit the video and fast forward boring segments so I can show you a fast result (but unfortunately you’ll be none the wiser about how to get there). Your statement of the problem and the way to fix it [horizontal adjustment, not vertical) with advice about the details is so helpful. I’m slim built and this is going to make a lot of my baggy dress pants fit so much better!
Boy am I so happy I found your channel. Im a nurse and I have about 10 pairs of pants that fit me really well in the knee and thigh except for the baggy crotch. I was contemplating what to do maybe getting rid of them and then I found your channel. Your instructions are so clear. I have just subscribed. I am going to be adjusting all those pants starting today. Thank you so much and I look forward to watching your other videos
I like your careful attention to detail! I’d never thought of that technique to remove the baggy seat in pants. ( that’s not usually my problem). One thing, I usually leave the pants inside out and go in through the waist opening as you did. It’s easier to keep the extra surrounding fabric out of the ways and out from underneath my needle. I also serge off the seam allowances and top stitch it. Easier and neater.
What a great timely video! My jeans always have a baggy seat and I was wondering how to correct the problem, now I have a solution.😊. I also agree, it would’ve been nice to see the after picture on a human. 😉. I also just found your channel and have subscribed. 👍.
Thank you so much! Have been looking for a way to modify my too baggy jeans but nothing seemed appropriate. Must try this for sure! Regards from the Netherlands, Christel
I sure wish I sewed and had access to this video when I wore those uniform pants! I had baggy butt syndrome my entire military career. Oh well. I can fix those for family. Thank you for the very well made video.
Perfect timing! I've lost weight and bought new jeans but the butts are really saggy and I can't stand it! You've explained it so well that I can do this!
I love to sew, but hate clothes construction and alterations. You might have changed my mind. I have a pair of pants that needs this exact fix, so I'm doing this! Thank you for sharing! New subbie.
Thank you so much for this video! As a fat, non-binary person, finding clothes that fit and feel good is almost impossible. There's a great clothing brand I like here in the UK that has an extensive size range and is actually fun so they're my go to, but for some reason when they get into the bigger sizes they have the baggiest crotches ever! Like I could stuff a melon in there. Finally I can wear all my fun jeans and be comfy! Thanks a million :)
Nice work, it would have been helpful to see it on a body before and after
My observation also.
My thoughts completely
Exactly what I wanted to say!
Very much agree.
Yes, a before and after was what I was hoping to see.
It is really nice to watch someone who know what they are doing. Keep up the good work.
I've watched many sewing videos over the years but this is the first time seeing this channel. In my 60 years of sewing, I did not learn this horizontal alteration method for this problem. No wonder my vertical alterations did not work.
I am now a new subscriber to your channel and of course I gave this video a "like".
I like how you actually modeled “going slowly” instead of rushing it because you’re practiced.
Thank you for this clear and concise tutorial. Previously, I struggled with assuming I always had to redo the flat-felled seam back to its original state. Thank you for the freedom to serge and top stitch instead. Brilliant work.

I love that you show us all the little things without editing through them! Thanks for the giggles too!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you! My granny used to call the crotch "the straddle." 😊
That is a nice word to replace crotch.
My mom said the stride!
It took me YEARS to realize that my front rise was long and my back rise was short. I’ve been removing excess rise in the yoke of jeans, but now I can do it with all my pants. I’ll finally be able to wear those that looked so good in a single mirror but terrible when I got home to my double mirror. Thanks a million.

Wow! How nice to have someone explain exactly how to do this. Finally, I know how to do this alteration🎉🎉.
I love your videos and the fact that you explain why you are doing it the way you are.
I was very fascinated watching you do this procedure. I always wondered how you would alter an inseam that is already sewn.
This is exactly how I have made alterations of this type too...and its nice to know that as a 'non professionally taught' seamstress my self.....my intuition to do this adjustment in this way has been right all these years. Thank you for giving me the confidence in my ability, that others knew I had, but I had always doubted myself....❤
Isn’t that the craziest part? The imposter syndrome seems to follow us throughout life (I feel it to!) but I’m glad we can band together here!

Thank you! I'm happy to add this technique to my sewing toolbox!
I've never tried it.
OMG! Brilliant analysis.
So helpful, can’t wait to try this method!
Thanks so much for sharing your methods with us! I really appreciate your enthusiasm and the lilt in your voice!!
I needed this for hubby's jeans. Thank you.

This was so perfect! Shae, an excellent teacher.
I had to watch you because that’s what I do. Thanks for sharing. You inspire me.
I have an easier way to do the flat fell! Do a wrongside out French seam, press it to the appropriate side and top stitch the finished French seam flap down on the outside! No stopping to ease one side under or ironing the raw edge under! It’s already enclosed in the French seam!

Just did this on some nice wool trousers I thrifted. They fit perfect now! Thank you so much!
I’m serious-thank you! I’ve been needing a video like this. So clear and easy to follow! Thank you! Now to start going through your other videos! 😂❤🎉
That was a beautiful job and you explained it very well thank you
Thank you so much for this tutorial.. went through many before I found you.. you explained it so well..

We love your personality 🎉
Thank you ! This is brilliant! I recently listened to weight and wanted to alter some of my best pants!
I am so thankful I found you!
Thanks for explaining why taking in the side seams doesn't get rid of a 'baggy straddle'. Excellent tutorial. Loved undoing the chain stitch. 😊
This was a great video. I was about to throw out a pair of pants that I made that has a baggy seat. And now I won’t. This video is truly a game changer. I can’t wait to see some of your other videos. You are one smart cookie.
this is brilliant. thank you!!
Massive thanks! I’ve got a few saggy jeans that otherwise fit pretty well. They weren’t too expensive so I think I’ll give this a go on one of them and see how it goes!
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for the instructions you presented. I did it!
Just what I was looking for. Excellent video, thank you!
cant wait to try this out i have always got a baggy seat on all my pants thank you so much for sharing this with us
You've taught me a great way to alter pants. I've been doing it wrong for years. 😢 Thank you. I can't wait to alter my next pair. ❤
Thank you, that was a really nice clear instruction which I would feel confident to try to follow.
Fantastic! I am SOOOO glad I found this channel. I've seen so many videos, this is by far, the absolute best. Your voice and personality, oh my gosh, you knock it out of the stratosphere. I was wondering why you didn't use a double needle. A new subscriber for sure!

I hope that helped :)
Fantastic! Thank you
THANK YOU for this. I do this technique often but have always avoided flat felled seams. This has given me me the confidence to do them too
Thanks for the technique.
For those who draft patterns, this video is great to show what happens when you move lines on the pattern.
This has been a problem in all my pants. Now I know how to fix it, Thanks so much for posting this.
Hi wow what a great demo thank you ,will definitely give it a go x

Good job. Nice machine

Like I could stuff a melon in there. Finally I can wear all my fun jeans and be comfy! Thanks a million :)
Great! TThank you.
